The Nation
70% Mountains.
Q. What do Koreans do on weekends ?
A. Go to a mountain !
TOP
The
Climate
Constantly hot and sticky in summer,
and freezing cold in winter - watch out for "black
ice".
TOP
The People
All 45 Million of them !
Unless you are on the island of Seoul,
be prepared for stares and shouts of "Hello!"
(especially from children).
TOP
The
Food
If you like spicy food you'll love KimChi.
The Problem is:
Koreans don't think
Western people eat anything that is hot and spicy.
TOP
The
Cost of Living
A bag of gold could buy a loaf of bread.
Well, not really.
Some things tend to be around the same price as in western
countries but most tends to cost more.
Although remember that the tax rate is only 7%.
Also if you are American there is a reciprocal tax agreement
so you don't have to pay tax for two years.
TOP
The Language
Easy to speak, even easier to read.
All hail King SaeJong !!!
(You can see him on the 10000 won note).
Although ask yourself:
"Is it worth learning Korean anyway?"
and
"Who speaks it?"
TOP
Miscellaneous
Be always wary of the "Korean Promise" !!!
